Can I use these for a glass terrarium and just put some moss in with it? How do I care for them with no soil?

They do not need soil. They get their water and nutrients directly through their leaves. These plants are perfect for small glass terrariums 3 to 5 inches. Care instructions come with every order.

yes you can just put them on rocks, moss or just glass jar if you like. Either spray with water bottle every couple of days or soak in water for 20-30 minutes once a week. You will know when they need water by how green. I always turn mine upside down after soaking for a little bit so no water just sits inside them. Enjoy!

Hi Anthony ... first and foremost, remember that I'm a novice at growing air plants ... a glass terrarium should work great, but I'm not certain about the moss, and you obviously want to avoid anything that will keep them "moist" ... I'm presuming this means any type of soil. I submerge mine, per instructions, once a week for two hours, then let them dry another two hours on a paper towel. That seems to work great. They're growing and doing great. :-)

They need to be soaked for about 15 minutes in water about every 10 days .. so you could put them in a terrarium and just take them out to soak and then replace them.They shouldn't be planted in soil.

To be honest I ordered this collection couple of months ago. To this day they have not made it to terrarium. They are in same pots and are doing just fine. I have them for now on my back porch in the shade and water as needed. I think they're great even though I didn't get any of the ones pictured.

For light hungry plants, you'll need two of these even in a 10 gallon tank. Moss will grow with one bulb, but most carpeting plants won't. I have a glass lid for my 20X10 aquarium, and have placed two of these on top. Not very elegant, but cheap and does the job.

Yes, this is what my wife purchased them for. However...and as Ellen G. stated, they need to get adequate sunlight. This was a problem in our house in the location where my wife intended. Another thing to beware of is the watering issue. With a wall design, one might use an array of small containers to hold the plants individually; it's likely that such containers won't have drainage holes. Be very careful with over-watering the plants without drainage to the soil else you will quickly find dead succulents from root rot!

They are lichens and can be cultivatived indoors year round along with moss and Spanish moss! However, outside you will have to wait until spring, summer and fall!

Hello, Jay! I've ordered moss, too, and my best advice is to contact the vendor you bought it from. Mosses don't need to be planted in soil. They don't have roots like other plants. You should be able to keep it alive by misting it and keeping it in a plastic bag, but again, I urge you to contact the vendor. Nice gift! Joyce

They just come in small black greenhouse production pots. Not too attractive. You could replant them into nicer 2" to 3" planters, but it would probably be easier to make a decorative wrap with foil or paper using the existing planter, and tie with some nice ribbon. A nice wide decorative ribbon might work all by itself. Your florist could probably give you some good ideas.

I dont know what the use of rockwool cubes in aquariums would be im guessing to put plants in??. I can tell you they do not come apart while soaking. They root very well. But they are high in ph which can be adjusted...hope that helps..cheers

They're air plants, so you don't plant them. Stick them about anywhere out of direct sunlight and mist daily or more. Great for bathrooms where they'll get a lot of steam.

I have mine in "fairy" globes and they are doing quite well. The gloves have openings so that I can spray them every few weeks with treated water that has food in it (also available on Amazon) and no issues. I think I had a kit with moss wtc that said they could be used in a closed terrarium. Hope this helps.

As a planter just for the moss? Line with pea gravel, then a layer of dried sphagnum moss and then soil. Mosses are non-vascular meaning they have no water transport system beyond osmosis (this is why the never grow tall) so they need to be moist and out of direct sunlight. I spray mine with a spray bottle for moisture.

I think a indoor terrarium is acceptable unless you get a warm winter and keep it moist if so they might grow I personally would get a living plant or a purple pitcher plant or a red Asian pitcher plant also try a sundew or a venus fly trap.

Hi Mary. I used this moss in a terrarium and noticed that one kind was not doing so great. The others are large pieces and I had to make them smaller to fit. The sheet moss is the most quantity it covered a five gallon tank bottom by it self.

You could...but I don't know how long they would hold up. Maybe succulents that didnt' require much water. I would look elsewhere for planters though.

according with the directions wood mulch sand ash gypsum(drywall crushed up) and peat moss is the combination that I used but I won't know if my garden til this spring because you want to start your mushroom farm way before winter for the spores to multiply . According to what I have seen online you want the soil in poor condition for what would normally be good for other vegetation. I have not had any luck with my garden but good luck to ya

Although they are made from basalt rock, they do not biodegrade. You can plant them in ground, just be sure to water them consistently and thoroughly until the roots establish themselves in the soil.

I don't know about Kyoto moss specifically. When I received the Live Moss Assortment package--very well packaged, by the way--I just placed fragments of the mosses measuring at most 2-3 inches on my layers of media, added a few miniature plants, and sprinkled a bit of water on everything. Then I put the lid on the container, and have never rewatered the terrarium again since October!
